I didn't miss it Jeff, I saw you get way out of shape, and do a great job of saving it. You did a great job of driving all night.

Thanks Marty !
Congrats to you as well for setting the O/SA record. Well done my friend !

Also...congrats on being the first driver to break the 11 second barrier with a 4 cylinder Stocker.
If only I had left 5.8 seconds earlier.....LOL

After looking at Michael's pics he posted, I guess I was a little late to the teardown party...lol

Got a little video of the 4 cylinder runs at Bowling Green:

Mighty impressive results with both cars. 11 second 2.3L turbo's. Your hard work is being rewarded. Best of luck the rest of the season and safe racing. CONGRATULATIONS.....John

Alan - sorry I missed giving you credit for a National Record as well! I should've known. Great video, great to capture a little bit of history. The little guys ("high class" drivers?) really stepped up this weekend!

Sorry for the late pics... late nights at BG, a long day of travel home, and then come home to a desktop PC that's heading to the repair shop in the morning...

Some pics...


Good shady spot, at least til early afternoon!


Ready to roll for Q1


Suspicious looking individuals...

More pics...






Jeff Taylor wheeled the Hellenberg SuperStock Cavalier this weekend


Mike Taylor was giving K/S a go with his Pure Stocker.

Good video, Alan! That must have taken a little time to put that together. Congrats, again, on the N/SA record!

Congrats to both of you on the records. Mighty impressive for 4 cylinders !

Does anyone know who the photographer was with the orange shirt in the screenshot pic below ? (far side of the track under the red arrow)

I am looking for someone that took pics and or videos of my T-Bird.

Got some in-car video from the weekend. Didn't get 2nd round due to almost missing the round from the starter fiasco, and didn't get the semis or finals because the GoPro battery went dead. Please excuse the really bad sound and shaky camera!





Like Alan, I was wondering who was doing photography at the event? I'd like to get some from the weekend.
